SPY Charts and some Technical Analysis Today's Economic Calendar - The Charts - Opinion - Stock Picks. Today's Economic Calendar: 8:30 AM: The initial weekly unemployment claims report will be released. The consensus is for 250 thousand initial claims, up from 199 thousand last week. THE CHARTS: (NOTE: Charts are a guide, do other research as well.) BRIEFING/OPINIONS: The markets took another dive on Wednesday. Fed Chair Powell's comments and Covid variant fears are still the blame. We may get a bounce back again tomorrow. Currently the market is being moved by news events and charts mean a bit less. We dropped below the important 50-day moving average. I would expect a rebound attempt to get back over it.We are now marking a wide trading range of SPY 250-270. CHANGES: The Stochastics are now low/overbought. NOTES: We were expecting a sideways range bound market to develop, OR a resumption of the previous uptrend. The uptrend was back in, until the latest sell-offs. Currently a wide trading range is in place. Risks: Negative budget or inflation headlines, political uncertainty, and/or Covid fears. SPY 430 is our strong support level. This level could also be considered a stop area for some traders. SPY 450 is also a support level. * If you have any questions, opinions, or comments to add please do so! * IF wanting to gamble: Options trades on these ETFs will give you a way to place your bets. $TQQQ - $SQQQ - $SPXL - $SPXS. * Beware - levered ETFs are subject to decay and are not for long-term holding. * POSITIVES: We are above the 200-day moving average, which is rising. NEGATIVES: Dropped below the 20-day moving average.Dropped below the 50-day moving average.Think about the Fundamentals, Valuations, Virus news, the Economy, Jobs, Politics, The FED, etc.?Inflation fears?Some things out there to worry about still!

OUTLOOK: Risks and fears have dropped us into a trading range.Longer-term questions to ask: When will the Fed's easy money and the stimulus sugar run out?Will higher inflation cause the Fed to raise rates? Covid still hurting the economy?Supply chain issues?We still say "Use Caution".
